FAQ

Every jar of Christen's Best is made in small batches using recipes perfected in our founder's home kitchen. We use only the finest ingredients with no artificial preservatives, no added sugars, and no shortcuts. You can taste the difference that love and care make in every spoonful.

All of our sauces are crafted in the USA using the same small-batch methods we've used since day one. We work with local suppliers whenever possible and source our specialty ingredients from trusted partners around the world.

While not all of our products are certified organic, we prioritize high-quality, natural ingredients in everything we make. We use organic ingredients wherever possible and never use artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
